 The Spirit of Jesus is the Holy Spirit, also known as the Word, which was with God and was God in the beginning (John 1:1) - this is eternal, and cannot change.
-When Jesus rose from the dead he proved that God's life in the Spirit of his Son is eternal, and is not subject to death. Jesus then ascended into heaven, was glorified, and returned to the earth to minister to his disciples (John 20:16-17, John 20:27).  When Jesus returned in his glorified body he was no longer confined to the laws of nature but was able to appear and disappear at will as the Son of God.  All of the functions of his natural body - memory, sight, taste, mass, etc... - existed and restricted only on command.  Jesus had come from the Father and had gone back to the Father (John 16:28).

+Jesus prophesied that he had come from the Father and would go back to the Father (John 16:28).  Paul writes that ''"when all things shall be subdued unto him,"'' (including death) ''"then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him , that God may be all in all."'' (I Corinthians 15:28).  Jesus became the Saviour by submitting his spirit into the hands of the Father (Luke 23:46) - and Paul's writing prophecies of a another time of submission which will produce an even greater result.
